Redbreast 19 Year Old Oloroso Sherry Cask

A style unique to Ireland, and which Redbreast is a textbook example of, the single pot still is defined by two characteristics. Firstly, the mashbill and secondly, triple distillation. The first sees malted barley combined with plain barley and potentially other grains, which gives the distillate a fruity spicy note. The second is described as polishing the spirit and letting those flavours shine out.

This elegantly sherried Redbreast was aged entirely in second-fill oloroso casks, making for a complex dram that balances notes of dried fruit and nuts with the distinctive spiciness of Irish pot still whiskey. After almost two decades in the Midleton distillery warehouses in County Cork, it shows excellent maturity with fine tannins and hints of dark chocolate. Outside of the celebrated core range, there are precious few Redbreast whiskies in the wild, so we are particularly proud to offer this limited-edition bottling exclusively to customers of The Whisky Exchange.
